ATLANTA, APRIL
We learn from the Montgomery Journal, that
the negro who murdered Mr. Capehart, at Mt.
Meige, was burnt to death on Wednesday. He
confessed his guilt.
Mr. Fillmore-
We copy into our issue of this morning an
excellent article from the Washington Union,
upon the Philadelphia nominations.and request
for it an attentive perusal by all, irrespective
of party, whase eye it may meet.
Documents.
Our Senators Toombs and Iverson, and Hon
orables Hiram Warner, Alexander H. Ste
phens, Howell Cobb, and others, will accept
our thanks for numerous recent favors in the
shape of Reporta, Speeches, and valuable Con
gressional documents, under their respective
franks.
Ho for’Kansas’:
A party of twenty young gentlemen, under
the direction of Capt. Batt J ones, left our
city this morning, for Kansas Territory. They
are all of the right stamp for such an enter
prise, and whatever station they may occupy
in their new home, will be found good citizens
true as steel to the South and her institutions
juid willing to meet, if need be, treble their num'
bet of enemies of the constition and the coun'
try, come they from what quarter they may. —
The party is to be joined at Marietta, by 10
or 12 others, and a will proceed directly to Kan
sas, with all dispatch. We wish them success
in the various objects of their mission. Capt.
Jones promises us a faithful account of their
actings'and doings, and a true picture of the
iituation of affairs, as he finds them. Wo
have no* doubt it will be interesting to the
public, and the many friends\of himself and
his party here.
Fine Cigars.
Apropos of Havannas, we beg to tender our
gratefal acknowledgments to our friends Lamar-
Lowe k Co., for a box of fine cigars they have,
with discriminating taste (ahem!) presented us
for trial. We have tried them, and after pre
mising we consider ourself a judge of the weed,
do not hesitate to pronouce them “ fine. " Bub
aside from the intrinsic worth of the gift, we
appreciate the kindness wore particularly, be
cause it comes from a firm of as clever fellows
as ever catered to the wants ui.d tastes of a
community— mau whose liberality and scrupu
lously fair dealings, make them models for the
emulation of business men generally, and com
mend them to the patronage of purchasers.
Think of you when wo smoke them ‘I Cer
tainly we will, friends L., L. & Co.; and long
after, when we sit in the chimney-corner and
smoke on the shady-side of fifty (if we ever do)
and look back upon the editorial life you have
so sflen made less onerous by your kind atten
tions, will we think of you, and with grateful
remembrance too. Meantime we take it upon
oursslf to commend your stock of tobacco and
cigars to other consumers of the weed ; and if
this paragraph meets the eye of any not of this
class, we beg to say that between eatables
drinkables and smokeables they will be indeed
hard to please if, in your flourishing establish
ment, you cannot fiud something to please there
palates.
The Columbus Sun
Comes down upon us for what it denominates
our “ strictures upon the time-honored institu
tion " of “ All Fools Day," in its issue of
Friday, aud, in a subsequent one, warns a Sa
vannah ootemporary to look out for a rasping
from ns, for a shark story published by it, in
observance of the “ time-honored custom.
Now we havn’t the remotest intention of dis
cussing this matter with the Suit, since we hon
estly confess we cun see 110 particular good
promisetl from such u discussion —the .S’toi
clearly advocates the custom, while we are de
cidedly of opinion that it were “ better honor
ed in the breach thau the observance." We
have no hope we can convert the editor to our
faith, and are confident that our prejudice
against the practise is too deeply rooted to bo
plucked up by his sophistry. But our friend
of the Sun. has fallen into error when lie sus
pects we wrote tiie “ strictures " aforesaid while
smarting under practical observances of the
custom of which we were the suffering subjects
-we were not so “fooled. ' On the contrary
our remarks were induced by the fact that we
had noticed nothing of the kind, either iu onr
■ ■ffiec or upon the street, and was more con
gratulatory than reflecting upou the practice-
So (lie sage suspicion of our lively Columbus
neighbor goes for naught. As to the shark
story, we have to congratulate ourself we havn’t
thc’charge of our Savannah cotemporary’s con
bCieute. nor h»rc «• set ourself tip as a censor of
its acts. llc nitty tell us many and as large
fish stories as his paper and conscience can ac
commodate themselves to, and as long as we
are able to.detcct their absurdity we will only
smile at it. But when a positive, downright
untruth is told, with intent to mislead, and place
the subject in a ridiculous position, we do con
tend that the practice is reprehensible, often
inflicting upou sensative minds wounds tliat the
mere fact of its being a jest does not alleviate.
Our friend of the Sun will not deny such in
stances are common, nor will he refuse to admit
that they are consequences of this honored
custom." We are as much disposed to wink
at the innocent deviitry of Young America as
any one should lie, but when it loses its harm"
less character, and inflicts pain, while it attach’
es moral wrong to its perpetration, we are
• dawn upon it, like a thousand of brick and
w« opine the Nun would grow Wolfish too. if
it viewed the matter iu the same light we do.
ASP* The Kansas Freemen says that the of
fleers are rather puzzled how to apply a provi.
siim of the law in that Territory relating to the
right of Indians to vote. The law is that the
Indians.who have -adopted the habits of white
men" shall vote, and the difficulty is to settle
what shall be a sufficient proof of such atiop
tiou. The last one suggested is that by the
Ohio Statesman, that “the Indian should buy a
Sharpe’s rifle, a (.'oil's pistol, and shriek for
freedom, and then he would have the hobds of

Mr. Fillmore’s Letter.
We published yesterday, and shall reprint in
our Weekly of this week, the famonsJErie letter
of Mr. Fillmore’s. The letter is its own crit
ic, and we can only add that its genui nenes 3
has never been questioned. It establishes in
unmistakable words, what Mr. Fillmore's con
scientious convictions are, and we ask every
reasonable Southern man jf he can support for
the chief Magistracy, the author of such a let
ter ? No Philadelphia Platforms plastered
over it can obliterate its characters. Is he the
man the South want's ? Has she fallen so low
as to sue the favor of such a man, and hunt
him out from the ruins of Rome to beg hi s
acceptance of the Presidency, and that too
without asking one pledge from him that he
will retract his Erie letter? This letter is the
only record we have of his status upon South
ern questions, and yet, in the very teeth of it,
men are found who commend him to the sup
port of the South ! Fortunately, however, the
unmistakable terms of the letter defy their plas
tic hands, and cannot be twisted into any shape
that will deceive the people as to its true char,
aeter. Let them read it, and beware how they
endorse such a mon, aud with such principles-
We desire to base no argument upon the let
ter—none is needed to reveal ito character—and
onlv desire to direct the reader's attention to it.
Black Republicans 1
"The town negroes of this State are the b'hoys
of the South, sporting their fine Havanas and
twirlin’ their fancy canes on the sidewalks—
who but they I No Southern cities, save those
of Alabama, allow them such luxuries as para
ding the principal thoroughfares of the city,
and acting Beau Brummel to perfection. We
would call the attention of the proper authori
ties to this matter, and trust that they may put
a stop to this free license of such acts on the
part of the would be negro grandees of our
city, especially t> the free negro population.’’
Our attention has been recently, upon sever
al occasions, been directed, by prominent citi
zens of our place, to the free use oir
negro population make of the very large liber
ty they are allowed in the city, and the above
paragraph, which we clip from the Montgomery,
Alabama Journal, reminds us that our promis e
to direct public attention to the subject re
mains unfulfilled.
Our friend of the Journal is mistaken. —
There is at least one other [Southern city where
Coffee monopolizes the perogatives of his mas
ter, and goes even further, practisisg in the
the streets, what few white men would dare to
do. It lias been but a day or two since an
incident, of common occurrence in Atlanta,
excited our indignation. A burly swag
geriug rascal, with a fresh lighted “Cuba Six”
cooly preceded a couple of ladies who, for
nearly a block, he all the while industriously
attempted to suffocate with his sicken
ing smoke. This and other like practices are
growing daily more common here, aud that
too under the very noses of our city authorities.
We sympathise fully with the wish to allow our
negro population every enjoyment consistent
with their position and don’t object to their use
of “fancy eanos, and Ha vannas," if they confine
them to appropriate limits ; but when they
discommode the shins and olfactories of our
white population we are disposed to put In a
plea, [at least, for our eyual rights. We know
it to be the universal wish of our people that
such abuse* of privileges be checked, aud it is
only necessary to call the attention of onr efli
cent Chief Marshal to the practices to correct
them. 1 f there is no ordinance to prohibit their
smoking in the street, and other similar practi
ces, there should be, and if we cannot have ono,
wo hope some measures will he taken to compel
oar darkies to smoke better cigars. Second
hand smoke is bad-enough at best, but when it
enmes from cuffee's lips and a "Connecticut
cabbage leaf,” human nature can’t endure it.
The Firemen's Festival.
It has been but a short time since we iiad oc

A Beautiful Present.
We noticed yesterday, at the establishment|
of our friends Tomlinson A Barnes, a magnifi
cent silver Speaking Trumpet, intended for pre" I
sentation by the Atlanta Fire Company No. ;
1, to their worthy President W. W. Baldwin, i
The Trumpet is a beautiful work of art, carved ,
and chased with appropriate devices, aud is, al-'
together ono of the most complete things of the
kind we have ever seen. On one side is a spread
eagle of much beauty of finish, with the words
“ Presented by the Atlanta Fire Company,
to their President, W. W. Baldwin, as a
TOKEN OF THEIR ESTEEM AND REGARD," with !
appropriate surroundings. On the reverse is !
engraved the coat of arms of the State, sup
ported by a handsome Steam Engine. The
whole is exquisitely ornamented and decked
with cords of silver Ac.
Mr. Baldwin, the recipient of this well meri-i
ted and handsome present, has, for a long time j
been known to our community as a public spir
ited citizen, intelligent, socially disposed, ener
getic in the discharge of the'public duties im
posed upon h im by an appreciative constitueu- I
cy, and withal, a very prince of clever fellows, I
at the same time, unostentatious, and modest to '
a fault ; and we know of no man in our com
munity whose services on occasions that •• try
men’s souls" so richly deserve a testimonial
like this. To the Fire Company was left the
pleasure of thus testifying an appreciation of
his public services, not confined to them but
■nivcrsal with our people, aud handsomely have
they on this, as well as other occasions, respond
ed, and with a liberality and good will coequal
with the merit they reward.
The Trumpet may be seen for a short time
at Messrs, Tomlinson A Barnes' general furn
ishing establishment.
In this connection we will mention, what we
omitted in our notice of the symposium of Fri
day night last, that it was given by the officers
of the Company.

ATLANTA, APRIL BTH, 1856
[From the Washington Union.\
Mr. Fillmore’* Position—Avail
ability at a discount—Princi
, pies at a Premium.
It is u singular fact that whilst the southern
know' nothings are supporting «r. Fillmore
with zeal because of their alleged confidence in
his soundness on "the slavery question" as it is
now presented, the few northern know nothings
who support him are doing so upon the avowed
understanding that he sympathizes thoroughly
with the abolition opponents of th: Kansas
bill. The first branch of this proposition is so
notoriously true that it is pot necessary to ad
duce proof to sustain it. In addition to the
evidence we have heretofore given in support
of the latter branch of the proposition, we now
refer to the remarks of Mr. Baines, a delegate
from Mass, to the Philadelphia convention,
made at a know nothing ratification council
after his return home. lie said that "he could
do more for the cause of freedom aud for the
millions of slaves by standing by -Millard rill
more and Andrew J. I lonelsoii than by bolting;
and. bclieveing that, he was willing to spend
his strength, and aa much means as his purse
would allow, in carrying forward these nomi
nations to a triumphant success. [Loud ap
plause.] The only thing for the American
party of Mass, to do was to come out nobly,
I honorably, and frankly, and sustain the nomi
nees. ne believed that if the council ratified
the nominations, and west into the presiden
tial campaign on the Springfield platform, (for
| he believed that Millard Fillmore was as good
, an anti slavery man as any republican who
could be presented.) they would darry thy State
by -twenty thousand majority "
The question comes up. naturally, how south
ern know nothings, who make extravagant
pretensions to nationality, can reconcile their
professions with the support of mt. Fillmore?
The answer on which they rely for a justification
is, that <r, Fillmore’s course, whilst President,
1 on the compromise measures of 1850, furnishes
i a satisfactory guarantee of soundness on the
| pending issue. It is to this position tjiat jve
wish to direct the dispassionate attention of
truly national know nothings.
It is freely conceded that Mr. Fillmore's!
fouduct in approving the compromise measures
in 1859 was patriotic, and deserving of ths
more commendation because it was a reversal
do all his untccedants on sectional questions
eown to that time. His record whilst in Con-1
gress, and as a candidate, had been that of a)
consistent and zealous abolitionist. In upprov '
ing the compromise measures be cut himself
I loose from his former associations, and took;
ihis position with national men. It is well!
known that he forfeited the support of his
: former friends, and Itccatre a favorite with ■
i that branch of the whig partv which had not'
I become abolitionized. He was sacrifice<l and
overslaughed at t e succeeding national whi„ |
convention for this act of nutionalitv. The
abolitiomzed wing of the whig partv bad the
strength, and they nominated Gen. Scott over
his head. This result became the subject of
general discussion in the South in the canvass ;
I of 1. i 2. and the cause of this sacrifice was re
, lied on by all the democratic papers aud speak
ers to prove the unsoundness of Gen. Scott's
position. In this way M r. Fillmore became to i
be regarded at the South somewhat in the
light of a martyr, and hence the cause of his!
popularity tn that section, and hence his nom- !
ination by the southern know.nothings at the!
late Philadelphia coevention.
But does it follow that because Mr. Fillmore ;
approved the compromise measures of 1850 he
ought to be presumed to approve the priuciDle ’'
ot the Kansas bill? Ger.. Pierce was trinm
phantly elected President upon the comproin 1
ise measures of 1850; but thousands, of those >
who supported him on that issue are now his i ;
bitterest opponents, because of his known ex
ertions m the passage of the Kansas bill.— I 8
’’ ho laows that Mg. Fillmore does not regard j ’
the Kansas bill with the like hos'ility? It is I
certain that the northern know nothing who j
support him are opposed to that, in ‘asure. and j
is satisfied that he is opposed to it. str. Fill
more himself has taken no part in polities |
since his retirement from his presidency, and
has been absent for months in Europe, entirely
ignorant of his nominotiou. The least that
cun be said is that it is a question of uncer
tainty what his position is on the issue now
before the country.
in that poin of view, it is surprising that lead- j
ing southern know nothings, who were recently i
so hard to be satisfied as to Col. Richardson's I
nationality when a candidate for Speaker.!
should now be tin: zealous advocates of a can
didate for the presidency whose position they [
are only able to guess at from the fact that <’n ■
one occasion, in all his political life, he surren
dered his abolitionismland practiced nationality.
These gentlemen were such sticklers for sound :
Kansas principles that they were not willing to
vote for a Speaker of the House of Represent -
tatives unless he would declare that the Missou-1
ri Compromise was unconstitutional ; but they
I are willing to vote for a President of the Cui’ i
ted States without even inquiring how he stands
on that question. It is enough for them to
know that he approved the compromise meas
ures of 1850!
j The truth of the matter is, that the southern
know nothings, in changing their name, have
' retained some of the bad habits of the old whig
party. The party was so often overthrown by
the Democrats, when led by Clay and Webster,
upon issues involving great principles, that it
despaired of success except by resorting to dis
honest expedients ; amongst these was that of
looking to the availability of their candidates,
I without any regard to their principles, but al
i ways making clamorous pretensions to a species
j of sublimated patriotism which furnished them
I with materials for popular declamation. It was
! this sin which finally proved fatal to the whig
i party. The know nothings have succeeded le
j gitimately to the same expedient, aud they are
now trying its efficacy in the nomination of Mr.
; Fillmore. Their hopes of success depend upon
! the popularity of his name as connected with
the compromise measures of 1850. It is lucky
for them that their candidate has been in re
tirement during the exciting scenes that have
marked the Nebraska issue. His strength, in
their estimation, consists in the fact that he has
not been mixed up in these violent conflicts.—
He stands uncommitted, and therefore In's sup
porters can rely npon his sectional or iris na
tional antecedents just as the one or the other
may be most available. His record furnishes
evidence both for abolitionists and national
men, and so long as both choose to be satisfied
they can act in concert in supporting him.—
' He happens, too, to be absent from the coun
j try, am! therefore is not accessible to annoying
! inquisitors as to his present political sentiments.
! All this looks inconsistent with the extrava
' gant claims of the know nothing party to ex
i elusive purity, piety, and patriotism ; but it is
!an expedient which the same party, wlien
! known as whigs, have adopted occasionally with
I success, and hence froijj habit, if not from cal
' culation, they have returned to it. The pec
! pie, 'however, have 'got to undeistand these
I tricks as well wlien resorted to by ’know-notli
ings as whigs. They have been taught by bit
ter experience that “honesty is the best policy."
No concealment or equivocation will be toler
ated in the present critical issues before the
country. There is to be a square-up fight be
tween nationalism and sentionaligi. N o man's
position on the pending issue is tq be merely
implied from his antecedents. When the can
vass opens the equivocal position of Mr. Fill
more will be so fully exposed t’;at he will scarce
ly be known in the contest. The temper of the
times calls for an explicit and unreserved de -
! claration of principles by the candidates of every
| party. Mere availabii'ty is at a heavy discount
!in the popular mind. Principles of vital mo
; ment are now at stake, and candor and bravery
, in avowing them are at a premium.
I Some of Mr, Fillmore 3 friends looked upon
• his name as a good enough platform for them;
I and so it may be to all who have no higher
• object than to clutch the spoils of victory, mi - .
I Fillmore's administration was a model one in
! the estimation of such as fight only for plunder.
I All of his recommendations are of a passive.
negative, indifferent character. The crisis calls
for a President of sterper stu"'— for one with
affirmative, pcsitiye attributes —for one who
has industry, watchfulness, courage,determina
tion, and a will of his own, Such a {’resident
is not to be found amongst the aviiability
worshippers, nor to be elected by them, hc
must be a man who has not only a good ante
cedent record, but a good present one. The
more of the smoke of battles on his gruments
and scars on his body, the better, lie cannot
be an infercntially sound man merely—lie must
be sqch by direct coinijiittal, ami his soundness
must be known and admitted of all men.—
In a word, lie must be a national democrat,
standing boldy on the national democratic
platform before ins nomination, with his flag
floating over his head, inscribed wiili non-in
tervention, NON-DISCRIMI NATION, CONSTITI
TIONAL FOFI LAR SOVERKIONTY, AND THE Eql AI.-

From tin- New York Day Book. '
• Men Change.—The Nine-Mouths |
Slate Law,
In 183 s Hou, W. 11, Seward, being a can
didate for the office of governor of New York,
was interrogated by Messrs. Gerrit Smith and
William Jay, a committee appointed for teat
purpose by an anti-slavery meeting held at Uti- i
ca, as follows . “Are you in f.vor of the re-|
peal pf the law which now authorizes the irn- j
portatiou of staves into this State and their ,
detention here as such for the term of ninei
months ?”
I The law to which the committee referred vi~ :
as follows ;
“Any person not being an inhabitant of the ;
I State, who shall be travelling to or from, or
j pasgipg through, this State? may bring with I
him any person lawfully faehj by bin; in slavery!
and may take such person with* him from this
State, but the person so held in slavery shall'
not lesideor continue in this ’State more than ;
nine months ; and if such residence be eon i
tinued beyond that time, such person shall he I
free.'’
In his reply, Mr. Seward takes ground dis I
tinctly against the repeal of this law. ami ar- ;
gues in favor of permitting slaveholders to I
bring their slaves into New York in ticconlance ■
with its provisions. We quote ;
“ But, gentlemen, being desirous to I, en

! ants whom custom, or education, or habit, may
I have rendered necessary to them. I have not'
l been aide to discover any good object to be at. I
| tained by such an act of inhospitality,"
This was before Mr. Seward discovered that i
I the • nigger question’' would pay. Now. any
one who advocates that this act of inhospi

is accused of wishing to re-introduce slavery

It is known to most of our nn'ri'antilo friends
tli if. the merchants of Cincinnati, have of late,
been making great exertions tosei-iirc Southern
trails, and they have snee, < ded to a eomidera
ble degree in their cU'orts. Il is also known
that Cincinnati has lately been the theatre of
resistance to the law of tt,e land, re.ipecting the
return of fugitives, aud that but a few weeks
ago :i ease of unusual e-mitement occurred there.
It seems tl-n’ one Mr. Jolill'e. an attorney of
that city, had made himself conspicuous in vol
unteering for the defence of runaway negroes,
and that about, the Ist ult., a committe:.*. in he
iiad ot certain citizens, made him a present of
" purse and contents," as >i token of t heir high
appreciation of his gorgeous servic s. Accom
panying t'ue purse was an address, which found
its way into the columns of the Cimminati Ga
zette. and now lies before us. This address is ,
a furious tirade mraiiiit the institutions of the
South in genera), and the fugitive slave law in
particular. Ihe latter, it pronounces “to be
in violation of the Constitution of the country,
,as weil as humanity," and t ait in its operation
“ violence is done to every sauce of public jus

I day morning. The conference room being too
small to accomodate the hundreds who wished
to witness the introduction, one of the church

filled to overflowing. Front seats’were reser
ved for the members of the Conference, which
was called to order by the Bishop, reatrd in :>
large chair in the alter, just before the pulpit.
After prayers the committee retired, and n
minute afterward entered, conducting the num
whom ail delighted to honor. They led him to
the Bishop's chair, waich was 'male . scant fur
him, the Bishop meunwbil;' opcqpti, ;iL. ( tlior

“The Secretary was directed to i d! the
names of the members ol Conference w !<>•■ > he
did in alphabetical order, each coming fm v. .rd
and receiving from the Bishop a personal in -
troduction to theex-l’residcnt.and immediately
retiring to give place to the next. The cere
mony had nearly been completed, when the
Secretary read the name of Rev. James T—:
an elderly gentleman, with a weather-beat n
face, dad in suit of jeans, qrqse m;d came
forward, fl'ov. ueined to know him. He had
always been on circuit, on the frontier: and
though always at Conference, he never but said
little—that little, however, was always to the
purpose. Mr; T came forward and ivas intro
duced to Genera! Jackson. He turned his face
towards the General, who said. ‘Jt seems to me
i tli.it we have met before. The preachir, ap
parently embarrassed, said; -I was with y>u
I through the Creek campaign -one of your body
guard at the battle of leans." The General
| arose slowly from bis seat, and throwing his
I long, withered bony ur.ns around the preach
ers neck, exclaimed: •We ll soon meet where
■ there’s no war—where the smoke of battle nev
-1 er rolls up Its sulphurous incense!”
“Never before, or since, have I seen so many
teare shed as then flowed forth from the eyes <
of that rast assembly. Every eye was moist i
with weeping.
“Eleven years have passed away siuce that I
day. The old hero has been more than ton iu 1

eternal rest."
■ Savannah River Railroad.—The city of
‘ Augusta has decided by a vote of -112 to 377
, (35 majority) to subscribe five hundred thous
j and dollars to the stock of the Savannah Riv-
■ er Railroad Company.
The opponents of the subscription, being de
! footed at the polls, have sprung a new question
i and maintain that even now the City Council
j cannot legally subscribe the amount, the law
! authorizing such subscriptions requiring the
I “previous occurrence of a majority of the”legal
1 voters’ - of the city. The register shows the
I names of 1000 voters, and as 412 is not a ma
■jority of that number, it is held that the stat
ute Ims not been complied with, and the sub •
' scription, if made, will not be binding,
j On the other hand, it is contended, and very
■ propeliy we think, that the authority is com -
i plete—that the “previous occurrence” required
| by the statute, means the previous concurrence
, of a majority of those voting at the election, !
ibe they lew or many. Were not this the prop
, er interpretation, it would at all times be in i
; the power of a minority, by staying away from I
j the polls, to defeat the w ishes of the majority. ■'

A few days since we published an in

perty by fire. A friend has since handed us a i
a letter from Col. Groce, written from his plan- j

ty or forty bales of Cotton burnt up, a few dues ■
since, by the pile of cotton seed that had been I
thrown out, taking fire, in consequence of being
overheated. Fortunately, some hands, who j
were working near by, discovered the smoke ;
and gave the alarm. Mr. Lamotte hastened to I
the spot with all his force ; aud with hoes and i

to ha'e planters put upon their guard against i

The free soilers of the North are beginning
; to discover that there is a South as weil as a
North, and that there is a spirit of resistance
i to ag rre-sion among our people that s not to
Ibe overawed by threats, or intimidated by

; and more than that, that the South is sending

1 iish p.Mmineni settlements in the new territory,

Carelessness in Legislation.
J Col. Milledge has been recently at Milledge-
I I viilo in attendance as one of the Compiission-
I era of tho Atlantic and Gulf railroad. While
i there lie had oeeasiim to inquire as to the fate
of tli.' bill to the compensate the delegates from
; Georgia tn the Nashville convention. From
tho fol! nving letter it appears that by some great
' care' saess the bill, after passing both branch
e- , the Ix'gisluture, failed to reach his Ex
eelency for his signature. This is much to be
icirettcd. for we doubt let the Gov. would
cha rfuliy have signed it. It was a measure
which it behooved Georgia to carry into effect,
a; we have heretofore said, and continued delay
in discharging the obligation thus resting upon
ti. .Bt;>to may reflect on her good faith and
; sen. •of justice. We do not, however, under
take to I-commend to the Gov. the assumption
,of any responsibility in the matter. We leave
i tiie decision of that, point where it properly
, belongs :— Const.
MiLLEncKviLtK, April 1,1855,
i Dea bin: 1 regret to inform you that the
.bill which i hud the honor to introduce in the
i House of Representative, at the Inst session of
I the Legislature, to pay the delegates to the
I Nashville Convention lias, in a 'manner, most
I extraordinarily and unaccountably failed to

What his Excellency may feel authorized to
Ido under the circumstances, I cannot say. The

! American Affairs in Parliament.
Among the accounts, brought by the Fulton
' are the following p;ssages of Parliamentary
I proceedings :
In the House of Commons, on the 10th inst.,
' Sir E. B. Lytton gave notice that immediate
;ly after Easter he should call the attention of
I the House to the disputes between her Jfajes -
ty s government and the government of the
I’ United States with respect to Central
America.
In reference to the Bay Islands, Mr. Gibson
| said it appeared that certain islands on the
: coast of Central American had been created in
to a British colony, under the name of the Bay
i Islands colony, fie wished to know, therefore,
I f rom the Colonial Secretary, whether the
i Queen’s warrant had been issued, constituting
' that colony and if so, what was the date of that
! warrant, aud wether it would be laid before
‘! Parliament, also what was the date of the ap-
I pointment of the presiding magistrate of the
I Bay Islands colony.
i Mr. Dabouchere said, the warrant was issued
I March 20, 1852, an<Hie had no objection to
I lay it on the table. The first magistrate was
i appointed August sth,in that year, and there
had been on.' or two appointments since—very
; rec.’ntly. The appointments rested with the
governm-.-nt of Jamaica.

I cattle growing, is already outstripiug all com
petitors in the field. Not only in the quantity
' raised, bnt in the quality of the article, has she
i h eady nt tamed to nearly the highest place.—
We have before us now the weights of an hun-
I dr< 1 bead tt>f cattle, raised in Champaign county
by Mr, B. F. H-.rris which average heavier

Iby Mr. 1 larris on the 16th, was 237,219 pounds;
j the heaviest bullock weighed 2,970 pounds; the j
light -t 2.1G0 p nnd=. The average weight was

Special Notices.
To my Pau-ona.
Thankful for the multiplied evidences of good
feeling towards the Examiner, as manifested in
the increased patronage of said paper, I fee!
that it is my duty, in retiring from the business
of newspaper publishing, to return my warmest
(and heart-felt) thanks to that generous public
which has given me its very liberal patronage.
I wculd not retire now, were it not that my
interest would be greatly enhanced by a diver
sion of capital into another channel of busi
ness. Hence my withdrawal'from the publica
tion of the Examiner.
In thus withdrawing, it is due uty foamer
patrons and the public to say that the Exami
ner will undergo no political change. On the
contrary, it will rise in its might and continue
to battle for the interests of the South aud the
privilege of civil and religious liberty, holding
in view, as its polar star, tho magic word De
mocracy.
In thus withdrawing from the arena of news
paper publishing, I can assure my numerous
readers that the Examiner will not lose in gen
eral interest or fall a tithe from its already high
Democtatic position. By virtue of sale 1 com
mit its destinies to the hands of Mr. Timothy
Burke, in whose care it will not lose anything
in tiie public confidence.
Eschewing every thing like uunecesoary elab
oration, I will, in the following article, intro
duce Mr. Burke to the confidence and patron
age of my old friends. WILLIAM KAY.
T. Burke, having bought out the entire in.
terest of Wm. Kay. begs leave to announce to
his patrons and friends, that he will continue
the business at the stores formerly occupier! by
Mr. Kay, and he hope*, by attention, to merit a
continuance of patronage from old customers. 1
He will also, publish the “ Atlanta Examiner,” j
aud furnish the subscribers with the paper as
usual, also, the “Job Office" and "Bindery’' will 1
l>e kept in active operation, and will endeavor
to give satisfaction to all his namerous friends,
who will give him a call. The contracts made
with this paper for advertisements. Ac.,’ will 1
be satisfactorily carried out by T. Bukke, ar
rangements having been made for that purpose. ,
